You probably have some kind of typo in your DTD specification in
validation.xml or validator-rules.xml, as most modern appservers will
pull DTDs out of jars. Ensure that commons-validator.jar is included
in your war/ear file.
Also, if validator rules are so critical to security, you should
probably throw an exception at app startup (in an app context
listsener) so the app won't even be out there if the validation rules
are not loaded.

On app server startup, the following is reported:
2006-04-29 16:18:23,420 ERROR
[org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn] jakarta.apache.org

*Im assuming that this is exception occurs trying to retrieve
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1.dtd
After this, my app works fine except there are now no rules being
applied to my forms which poses a *slight* security issue.
